Restaurants:The Invisible Power Of Ideas


Avinash Inarkar-Article 24



           This article i found on google... The "Big Ideas" always came in certain place, that i felt but now a days most of the ideas came in restaurant, have you ever noticed that when you go to a certain place, you feel like eating? Even though you are not hungry you want to eat there or sit there or even have chat with friends? In a city have few places which are known for food and they have a magical attraction for food lovers. 

Food can attract lots of tourists to your city and has the potential to become a great business attraction. It s very common practice among business people to meet over lunch and dinner. If your city has nice restaurants then people would be attracted more and more by its food. It turns out that best hangout places are those which can feed us too: Restaurants. 

In this Ted video , Steven Johnson, author of the book Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation, says that good ideas generally comes from public meeting places like restaurants, coffee house, town halls. These places aren't like offices and they allow people to open up and people can think without worrying anything. So if great ideas and innovation can happen at these places then we should have more and more places like these in our cities and companies.  

More and more startups and corporations are having restaurants and they serve food all day long. Facebook, Twitter, Google and i am sure more companies will doing, they all have restaurants within their campuses. Offering free food, just that thought made me rethink about switching my job. Providing free food to your employees can really make a difference to their affection and productivity at job. 

If i were a Chief Minister of a States, I would hire few dozen best chefs and open up best restaurant in the city. They work in many different ways for a community. In one of the future trends, I noticed that more and more cities will embrace this phenomenon.

My New Friend - Monie Perez

Avinash Inarkar-Article 23 


               Yesterday night when i login on Facebook, usually never log at these time 10:45 pm. But to upload the snap of My Best Pal with my Friends on Facebook. Already i send a friend request to Monie as she is Amit's friend on cruise line and i had seen her snap and comment on Amit's facebook profile. But that time she didn't accept our (Me and Pratik) request. As she told me that, I believe you its not that i don't, its just that i want to disrespect him in any way by adding you and him not knowing and seeing that we were friends when i just met Amit not to long ago. Confirm from Amit and add as a friend.


So the D-day came yesterday when she add me as a friend and frankly speaking i never thought that she and me were chatting first time. I felt that we were Old Friends and meet after long time. Another thing Day before yesterday her Mother (Mom) Birthday gone. And i wish Aunty that "God bless you and may all your birthday wishes come true:) ... wishing you more birthdays to come, and may you stay fit and happy always......"


For Monie: Last night i hugged my pillow and dream't of you... I wish that someday I'd dream about my pillow and I'd be hugging you.. hehehe just kidding.
